Philosophy is the discipline of seeking wisdom (Sophia) through the insights we gain in conversation with friends (Philia).

The rules are simple:
1. Everyone writes down a question.
2. Someone volunteers to answer one of those questions, chosen randomly or not.
3. As the Player, they have 3-4 minutes to answer it. Examples of this include:
- thinking out loud;
- looking up the answer;
- waxing lyrically about a mistake someone else made in answering a similar question;
- opening the floor to discussion;
- cross-examining an audience member, Socratic-style;
- giving a performative dance...
4. No one else may speak unless asked to by the Player.
5. The round may end whenever the Player wishes, when time runs out, or when the designated Judge gongs them.
